A lane is closed ahead on a multi-lane road. When should you merge?

  1. At the last moment, to pass as many cars as you can
  2. Only when a car lets you in
  3. After you pass the first cone
  4. As soon as it is safe, well before the end of the lane
Show answer

Correct answer: As soon as it is safe, well before the end of the lane

Waiting until the merge point at high speed causes crashes. Slow down early and move over in good time.
